During this time, the events of the auction at the Fifth Layer also spread. Very quickly, all the kings in the First Level hall knew about it.

When they learned that Lin Xuan had twice embarrassed the Candidate Saint Son and suppressed the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint, obtaining the Innate Purple Thunder Stone, everyone was extremely shocked.

It was simply a miraculous feat!

Moreover, now the other party was going to battle with Cao Yun, the Candidate Saint Son of the Wanchu Sacred Land.

This was absolutely sensational news.

So for a time, all the kings in the First Level headed towards the battle area.

They wouldn’t want to miss such an exciting battle.

Cao Yun strode forward, arriving first at the battle area, where he spent a large sum of money to buy a battle spot.

Then, he turned with a provocative look on his face towards Lin Xuan.

Lin Xuan walked slowly and took out the Purple Cloud Token he just obtained.

Immediately, a middle-aged man appeared in the void, respectfully saying, "You are our most esteemed guest at the Ziyun Palace."

"Therefore, any expense of yours at the Ziyun Palace will enjoy a fifty percent discount,"

"What? Fifty percent off!"

Hearing this, everyone widened their eyes, unable to believe it.

Even the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint and the Moon Worship Saintess frowned because they did not receive such treatment.

Cao Yun was so angry he almost vomited blood, his original provocative demeanor now a face of utter darkness.

He had paid full price for the battle slot!

Yet the other party could use a token for a half-price discount, which was a significant disparity.

He never expected that before the match even started, he had already lost so much ground in terms of presence, which made Cao Yun furious.

The surrounding kings were also gasping in amazement. They could hardly believe it.

They were aware of the Purple Jade Token, which only the highest-level people in Ziyun Palace could possess.

The number of these tokens was extremely limited, even the likes of the Ten Thousand Thunder Saint didn’t have one.

But unexpectedly, Lin Xuan actually had one. It was clear how important Lin Xuan was to Ziyun Palace.

"What exactly is this kid’s identity, to receive such attention from the Ancient Family?"

"Having even the Purple Cloud Token, it’s truly surprising."

"Why do I feel like this match is going to be surprising too?"

"No way, are you saying this kid is going to win?"

"Impossible, his opponent is the Candidate Saint Son of the Wanchu Sacred Land!"

"That’s an extremely formidable existence, probably only a true Saint Son could defeat."

The crowd was buzzing with discussion.

Initially, they didn’t think much of Lin’s prospects in this battle, but now they had changed their minds.

Because they realized they could not predict the outcome of this fight.

A battle with an unpredictable outcome is the most thrilling kind of battle.

Because no one knows what might happen next.

Lin Xuan paid half price for the battle slot and then headed to the battle area.

He looked at his opponent and said calmly, "So, can we start now?"

"Hmph!"

Cao Yun snorted coldly, gritting his teeth in anger. Still, he didn’t forget the main business.

So the next moment, he said coldly, "The match can be held sooner or later, but kid, do you dare to make a bet with me?"

"A bet, on what?"

"Betting that you will undoubtedly lose this battle!"

"If you lose, give me your Innate Purple Thunder Stone, do you dare?"

"You even want to place a wager!"

Seeing this scene, the surrounding crowd grew excited. They realized that Cao Yun’s ultimate goal seemed to be the Innate Purple Thunder Stone.

"Kid, are you spineless now, afraid already!" Cao Yun sneered, looking very arrogant.

Lin Xuan slightly shook his head, "There’s nothing in this world I’m afraid to do!"

"However, if you want me to use the Innate Purple Thunder Stone as a bet, it depends on whether you can offer something of equivalent value."

"If you can’t produce a treasure of similar value to the Innate Purple Thunder Stone, I’m not interested in gambling with you."

Lin Xuan wasn’t afraid of the bet; what he feared most was the other party trying to take advantage without offering anything in return.

And Cao Yun snorted coldly, "Don’t worry, as the Candidate Saint Son, I’m a person of standing, how could I cheat in this regard!"

Saying this, Cao Yun took out a Jade Bottle.

"Inside, there are three drops of ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid, each drop is incredibly precious, capable of reviving someone from critical injuries or death."

"I’m using it as a wager, it should be sufficient, right?"

"Ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid!" The crowd was shocked, gasping for breath.

This was definitely a valuable item, especially when gravely injured in battle; one drop could immediately revitalize a person.

It was like having an extra life.

The crowd didn’t expect Cao Yun to use such a precious item as a bet, a bold move indeed.

Even Lin Xuan narrowed his eyes.

This item was alluring to him because it was equally effective for him, but he hadn’t expected the other party to be willing to part with such a treasure.

What Lin Xuan didn’t know was that Cao Yun was very confident about this battle.

So no matter what treasure he took out, he believed he wouldn’t lose.

That’s why Cao Yun dared to put up his long-cherished ten-thousand-year-old Spiritual Liquid.

"Okay, in that case, I agree," Lin Xuan nodded.

The bets were set, and now it was time to see the contest unfold.

In the next moment, Cao Yun snorted coldly, his eyes like lightning, a terrifying aura rising from his body.

Like sword light, pressing down on everyone, making it difficult to breathe.

His wild hair fluttered in the wind, his whole being like an unparalleled demon, exuding a terrifying aura.

"Kid, go die for me!"

Cao Yun sneered, quickly charging towards Lin Xuan.

But the next moment, his vision suddenly blurred, and the surroundings vanished.

Gone was the resplendent great hall, replaced by another world.

An incredibly sharp and pervasive world, with sword qi traversing the sky like waves rushing forth.

Each streak of sword qi ascended skyward, making one’s heart leap with fear.

This was no longer the Ziyun Palace, but a Sword Dao World.

That’s right, it was a Sword Dao World, and it was Lin Xuan’s Dragon Sword Domain.

Facing Cao Yun, Lin Xuan directly unleashed the Dragon Sword Domain, enveloping his opponent.

And so there was the scene as it had unfolded earlier.

The Dragon Sword Domain was immensely frightening, transforming into a Sword Dao World, completely enveloping Cao Yun.

Cao Yun’s every hair stood on end, feeling an extremely sharp aura surrounding him.

He even heard the clash of sword qi, making his heart pound with fear.

"Ah!"

"Get away!"

Cao Yun roared in anger, realizing he was trapped within the opponent’s domain. Roaring to the heavens, he let out a frightening cry that pierced the clouds.

Boom Boom Boom!

The entire void trembled rapidly, but it could not shake the Dragon Sword Domain.

However, he was also decisive, directly deploying his own domain to counteract the Dragon Sword Domain.

Around him, a dazzling light burst forth, unleashing a terrifying tide of Chaos Light like a mountain and sea of energy flowing forcefully in all directions.
